I'm sure that this has been discussed already, but how did they make the tower so skinny without being structurally unsound?
Just caught up on this project and am intrigued. |

It's basically a circulation core without any building attached, and the core does most of the work anyway, ask the Rainier Tower in Seattle.
It never ceases to amaze me when I look at it from various vantage points that there are only 40 some odd units in this thing, but that's what you get when all your square footage has to fit inside the core. An amazing amount of work and materials for so few people. |
A snapshot in time on the city's skyline. There's someone being born right now, or maybe a year or two ago who will only know the skyline with these towers on it, same as we know the skyline with the Chrysler or the ESB. An image like this will be even more amazing years from now.

Would anyone in the know care to tell me how deep they drilled the rock tendons for this tower’s foundation? The excavation process was obscured to the point I am scratching my head how it works. We never got much of a look at “the pit” like we did for 432 Park.

Hard to believe the skyline didn't have these towers on it a few short years ago...
